Sires Stakes highlight Harrah's Chester card
Tuesday, September 04, 2007 by James Witherite-Rieg, track announcer, Harrah’s Chester Casino and Racetrack
Ed Mullinax's UP FRONT BEN ($17.00) turned in the fastest performance of the trotters, holding off prohibitive favorite Grant (Cat Manzi) to stop the timer in 1:57. Eric Goodell sent the son of Andover Hall right to the front, and he cut an early quarter of :29.2 before a backed-off half of :59.4. Grand Hallway (Kevin Sizer) left alertly from the outside and settled in second, maintaining the pocket trip before fading up the backstretch to a first-over Grant. Grant assumed the pocket position behind the widening leader, and followed Up Front Ben to the three-quarters in 1:28.1. Manzi pulled the pocket, but came up a length short to the Noel Daley trainee.
